The Comptroller-General of Customs, Hammed Ali, has directed all officers and men of the Nigeria Customs Service to declare their assets within 14 days.A circular signed by the comptroller-general and addressed to all deputy comptrollers-general, zonal coordinators and customs area controllers said the new measure was aimed at ensuring transparency and compliance with the rule of law.According to the circular, the directive was in compliance with “the Bank Employees Declaration of Assets Act Cap B1 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004”.

The circular said although the act provides for asset declaration by all bank employees, it also empowers the president to extend its application to other categories of persons.“Specifically, Section 12 (1) states that “The provision of this act shall apply to the comptroller-general, deputy comptroller-general, assistant comptroller-general, chief collector, principal collector and other officer, staff or employee of the Nigeria Customs Service as it applies to a chief executive or an employee of a bank,” said the circular.

The comptroller-general observed that many officers had not complied with the provisions of the act over the years, stating that the 14-day ultimatum for compliance would be strictly enforced.

Thank you and these declarations must be verifiable withing one month otherwise such should be voided.The Nigerian customs have been doing whatever they wanted in Nigeria for too long, they hire their errant boys as 'clearing agents' most of the money paid for clearance does not reach FG accounts, these custom errant boys play with our intelligence on top the stealing. Let employing the srevices of so called 'clearing agents' be a choice and not the rule, let the process of clearing imported goods be made transparent so that once I pay my import duties, I should be allowed to take my goods out of the ports without deliberate hinderance. Customs should have no right to mount road blocks to fleece fellow citizens. They can go to the markets and look for band goods, fraudulent prices, sub-standard goods and so on. Actually my recipe is to send most custom officers packing for doing alot of damage to our country, besides, many are not well educated in an era where we have plenty University graduates without employment......

Looool, I am enjoying the wind of change heralded by the APC broom.

This should start bringing down property prices to more reasonable and realistic levels as corrupt officials start to sell at quick fire to avoid the trap of false assets declaration.

There is now hope for the common Nigerian man/woman who has worked hard, but not stolen, not to look so unenterprising.

This is good. I believe Nigeria will be great again if people start to fear the consequences of their action even before taking it unlike thriving in impunity.

Including illegal confiscated car and other goods from public.

Thief thief you na be u dis custom guys.

Idiot

a no-nonsense ex-army general president with the resolute machismo and moral uprightness to lead the war against corruption.
